I typically stick this as a precondition in the run script;
if a service that the service requires is "not ready", then
the run script either loops or terminates (at which point
it's restarted by supervise).  The trick is determining
what "ready" is - for some processes, it can be just a
simple ps or svstat; for other more complex ones (e.g.
postgres or oracle databases) the process running alone
isn't enough as the database may be in a recovering state
- you might have to actually fire off an SQL session to
see if you can connect to the database.  It all depends.
